A photography community created to empower women, to cultivate insane creativity, and to set us up for success in business and in life - our hectic, crazy, beautiful lives.

WHY BABETOWN?

Because women have power; we have grit and guts, but sometimes... sometimes we need the calloused hand of a righteous babe to pull us through our shit.

Made by perfectly flawed women for their friends, companions and fellow travelers - This is a place where female photographers who capture the vast complexity and wide diversity of the female experience can speak up and be heard.

The manifesto

I KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE.

A woman is a collective; her parts makes a powerful whole, complicated, multi-faceted, and beautiful. Though she is whole, too often her parts are dissected and analyzed, critiqued and judged, and at some inevitable point, she loses her shit and suits up for a goddamn battle; she’s tired of being parts and pieces.

You aren’t parts.

You’re a natural born BABE.

This word is ours now. We’re taking BABE back from those who would see us as parts and pieces, and under this banner we stand for empowerment, true acceptance, and chasing your dreams like a bat outta hell.

Here, the weapon of choice is a little black box. You wield it with wisdom and reckless abandon, aperture pulsing to the time of your fleshy, beating heart and yes, you take back what is yours.

You are a righteous gotdayum BABE.

We suit up, show up, and take steps towards our dreams.

Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot.

We believe that tribes of women banded together will change the world with wills like iron, laden with raw vulnerability and a vision of equality.

We boldly proclaim that financial success and creative fulfillment can marry and thrive.

WE BELIEVE IN WOMEN, and that alone, we are sparks, instinctively seeking the glowing flicker of others like us, and as we unite, the ignition is pure fucking magic.

And so it is, with tattered flags and bleeding hearts, our anthem speaks to the intrinsic badassery of the babe within us all.
